Robinson calls Hall of Fame a ‘phenomenal honor’

David Robinson won multiple awards and trophies and titles during his 14-year career with the Spurs.

He said Wednesday that being named to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame “ranks right at the top.”

“It’s a picture of all this together,” Robinson said Wednesday. “For people to remember that you had an impact on basketball … to be remembered as one of those guys who shaped the game, is a phenomenal honor.”

Robinson, who won two NBA championships with the Spurs, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sept. 11 at Springfield, Mass.

A former NBA Most Valuable Player and scoring champion who retired after the 2003 season, Robinson met the local media at the Carver Academy Wednesday morning.
